Sky Q PUC Update

45 replies
Hello all

We have tested the new Sky Q PUC today and it worked so a new version has been released this afternoon following our tests. The version is 3.06a for Sky Q.

We have requested that Menu 1 is remapped to TV Guide as it currently goes to the Home screen and you have to scroll upwards. Menu 3 is renamed from Options to Apps.

Otherwise back online!
Thank goodness

Saves me getting an ear bashing at home and getting out of bed to get he right angle for the sky IR to blast behind the IT blaster as I didn't want to take it off

My PUC on my Bv7 is from one of the early versions where since sky updated the Q box software you have to double press everything, will this be resolved if my dealer uses 3.06 to make a new one?

I would of thought that the Q boxes are made by AMSTRAD as SKY OWN Amstrad as of two years ago.

Interestingly, as of yesterday the all of the standard HD Sky+ boxes are now DISCONTINUED and the Q BOX is the only Sky box from now on for the sky people. Horrendously old expensive way to watch traditional TV though guys.

Not sure if this cures the double click on the A1 chassis. I know 'other' software had been written especially for this problem. I will find out for you and revert.

The new Sky Q box is made by Cisco.

It may be an old fashioned and 'expensive' way of watching TV but it sure is still the most reliable way for watching football without any glitches and compromises. I have a Kodi player and it's so annoying trying to stream a match. I have 80 megabit download speed but I presume I am relying on IPTV servers abroad with good bandwidth?

Works great so far and has also resolved the lag issue.

Can anyone confirm the new version works fine on the Avant 55?

Hi Alex

We tested on Avant 55 today and all was well

The Sky Q box is NOT made by Cisco.
